Book excerpt: Adapted from the classic Polish tale, The Dragon under the Hill tells the story of an ancient principality and its inhabitants’ struggle with an uninvited and extremely unwelcome guest! An evil fire breathing dragon decides to settle in the principality of Prince Krakus, pillaging and plundering the country! Even the prince’s knights encounter much more than they bargained for when they try to defeat the dragon. But that is not all! Worse is to come when the dragon decides that the prince’s daughter, Princess Anna, would make a very tasty meal. But help is at hand! A simple shoemaker named Jacob has a plan. He believes that the key to defeating the dragon lies not in force, but in being clever and brave. Prince Krakus is at his wit’s end and permits Jacob to implement a simple, yet daring and clever scheme. This classic story is at once exciting and educational, demonstrating that there is more than just one way to defeat an enemy. Intelligence and brains can be just as effective as fighting and brawn.

Book excerpt: TRAVEL WRITING. The memory of a brief visit to Burma had haunted Rory MacLean for years. A decade after the violent suppression of an unarmed national uprising, which cost thousands of lives and all hopes for democracy, he seized the chance to return. Travelling from Rangoon to Mandalay and Pagan, into the heart of the Golden Triangle, he hears stories of ordinary people struggling to survive under one of the most brutal and repressive regimes in the world and meets Aung San Suu Kyi, perhaps the most courageous woman of our time and the embodiment of all Burma's hope. On his journey MacLean exposes the tragedy of a hundred betrayals. "Under the Dragon" is a perceptive and heartbreaking portrayal of contemporary Burma, a country that is shot through with desperation and fear, but also blessed - even in the darkest places - with beauty and courage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 00 Cheju Island, Korea's historic island of exile, with a harsh natural environment, early developed a negative image as human habitat. The author challenges this perception and shows how Neo-Confucian state ideology during the Yi dynasty (A.D. 1392-1910) created and conserved the island as a viable habitat by using feng-shui--a powerful medieval science of surveying--to shape the island's built environment and quality of life.

Book excerpt: A frostbitten healer's apprentice and a knightess with memory loss must save the world from a wicked prince in a high fantasy adventure for fans of Lord of the Rings, Throne of Glass, and Chronicles of Narnia. Vesunna "Sunny" Padsva is a legendary knight with her own ballad sung by tone-deaf bards across the land. She tolerates the fame, but craves an escape away from guard duty and starry eyed townsfolk. When the high king announces a diplomatic mission to an isolated kingdom in the north, she eagerly volunteers. Unfortunately, the trip quickly turns into a nightmare. Hagol's cold climate is miserable compared to Sul Galen's year-round warmth. The people are simple, the king is incompetent, and diplomacy is not her strong suit. She's ready to accept failure when a familiar adversary arrives and things take a deadly turn. Sunny must team up with some unexpected allies on a quest to stop corrupt leaders from destroying her home--and save a forgotten magical land. Silver Muir has endured a lifetime of cruelty from the superstitious people of Hagol. She's worked hard to gain their trust by serving as apprentice to the royal physician, and has built a pleasant life for herself at Castle Dúnbright. But the rumors about her mythical, frost-bitten appearance may not be entirely off the mark. When a knight from Sul Galen arrives with an interesting offer, Silver begins a journey that will call into question everything she once believed about her heritage and her place in the world. She will have to decide whether to honor her healer's oath...or embrace her newfound power.
